How to Display JavaScript Inside HTML Quotes Correctly

When working with JavaScript frameworks like React, you might encounter situations where you need to include JavaScript expressions within HTML markup. This can often be confusing, especially when it comes to handling quotation marks correctly. In this guide, we will tackle a common problem encountered by developers: how to display JavaScript expressions that require quotes in HTML attributes.

The Problem

Imagine you have the following piece of code where you want to set a meta description tag dynamically based on the content of an object, like so:

This standard approach may lead to unexpected rendering results because HTML does not interpret the JavaScript expression wrapped in quotes. Let's see a specific example of this issue where you want a meta tag to display a dynamic description from your React component.

Example of the Problematic Code

Here's a simplified version of the relevant React component code:

In this case, while the title renders correctly, the meta description does not. Instead of displaying the actual content of page.seo.metaDesc, it gets rendered as a plain string.

The Solution

To address this issue, you have a couple of options. Both methods will help you display the JavaScript expression correctly inside your HTML attributes:

Option 1: Remove the Quotation Marks

The simplest solution is to remove the quotation marks around the JavaScript expression. Your updated code would look like this:

By doing this, React knows to evaluate page.seo.metaDesc as a JavaScript expression and set the content of the meta tag correctly.

Option 2: Template Literal Syntax

If you want to retain the quotes around the description value in the final output, you can use the template literal syntax with backticks. This format allows you to include quotation marks as part of the string:

In Summary

When displaying JavaScript expressions in HTML attributes, avoid enclosing them in quotes.

If you want to include quotes around the output, consider using template literals.

By following these approaches, you should now be able to display JavaScript within HTML quotes without any issues. Remember that careful handling of attribute values is crucial in React to ensure your components behave as expected.

Now you can confidently add dynamic content such as meta descriptions, and enhance the SEO and usability of your website with React!
